"Trust has two dimensions: competence and integrity. We can forgive mistakes of competence. Mistakes of integrity are harder to overcome." Simon Sinek. When this appeared in my feed, it started the wagon turning. Is there only 2 elements to trust. The research, like leadership and EQ, has different models of Trust floating around. Regardless of the words used in these models, I like to break TRUST into 5 elements; COMPETENCE is one, some models describe this as Able ( ABCD model of Trust). INTEGRITY, sometimes described as sincerity is absolutely a key element. Dependable or RELIABLE is the third CARE or Connection (lets wrap this up as empathy) is a fourth element The neuroscience of trust I see as the 5th element There are many experts on Trust, Paul Zak is absolutely one of the standouts, Judith Glaser's C-IQ model, Ken Blanchard to name a few. Regardless of what Trust is or isn't, it's developed and lost at different speeds for us. I am a trust giver, you get it up front until events occur for me to question that Trust. Sometimes referred to as Blind Trust. It takes a lot, but once it's lost, it's hard to ever regain my trust. Other's are less distrusting upfront, and it takes a while before you gain their Trust, but once you have it, it can remain for long periods of time. Some elements we forgive faster than others. Some elements, once lost, well you can now see why relationships in organisations are filled with friction when politics interferes with integrity. And the 5th, the neuroscience, is conscious awareness of how our words create worlds, and how we can adapt our leadership style to ensure the stage is set for Trust to be cultivated. C-IQ. Why is this critical to leadership? Whilst EQ is the skill that enables us to see ourselves and others clearly, TRUST is the glue that holds it together. As a leader, understanding the elements of TRUST will help us see when the waters get murky. We notice a disruption in a relationship, was TRUST impacted and how. We are playing a little bit of politics, how is this impacting our integrity. We dont keep promises, do our actions show we care. Knowledge raises awareness because we just activated the RAS. And awareness raises self reflection. Melina is a C-IQ practitioner.  To find out more about how to bring C-IQ to your conversations email us melina@peopleq.com.au

I’ve been contemplating this. Back when I was in corporate, executive coaching was reserved for, well, executives, or coaching adopted to help navigate difficult situations/behaviours. So what could have been different for me? I would have spent more time self-reflecting which is the most critical muscle a leader can have. And perhaps I would have sharpened my awareness of my behaviour and actions, as well as that of others, to add more insight to my thinking? I would have been challenged to expand my perspective, to see it from another’s. Perhaps I would have been more empathetic and sharpened my people skills resulting in better relationships at work? I would have actioned monthly changes to my leadership style, and perhaps those small steps would have amounted to significant and positive change over the long haul? I would have bounced my thoughts and ideas around with someone else, and perhaps that could have led to more effective workplace decisions? I would have had someone help me navigate and manage my stress, and perhaps that could have improved my health and wellbeing? I would have found someone I could trust my deepest inner thoughts to, who would have seen what I couldn’t, and maybe their reflections could have resulted in bringing light to the beliefs that were holding me back? I would have had regular opportunity to release myself from the everyday doing, and perhaps this would have reignited my creativity and resulted in ideas with better execution? I would have checked that feeling in my gut, rather than sit with the circulating thoughts of doubt, questioning myself to the point of spiralling and feeling like all hope was lost, and maybe I would have found the courage to use my voice? I would have improved my memory of events, made more effective choices, become intimate with my values and beliefs and perhaps this would have built confidence and trust in me? I would have grown, taken more risks, used my voice more, and felt better about my achievements, and therefore happier and maybe this happiness would have spilled into my family and personal life.
